My blog-EME2040

There really is no activity log for my learning experience since I worked on it over time but mainly just trying to find what I should write about and then actually formatting it. My learning experience was very positive since I love making these kinds of things especially for use in the education field. I first researched infographics to get an idea of which one I wanted to make. I then found Canva.com and searched around for the infographic I wanted and then the format that best fit my idea. I decided that a bookmark would be perfect especially when it is about reading and picking the perfect book.  I soon filled in all of my information and added proper pictures and that was it! If wanted I would happily send the bookmark as a PDF Blogger wouldn't let me do so!

As a future educator I can see myself using both surveys and excel frequently. Surveys are a great way to ask 3rd graders their opinions while keeping their identity especially for the shy kids. They help share ideas and get a general consensus of the class without biases or intimidation. At a young age some students refuse to share their ideas since they may be intimidated by bullies in class or their friends who vote for a certain thing. Excel is a wonderful tool to condense info from surveys and to create spreadsheets for important things in class such as adding expenses for classroom tools/decorations or spreadsheets for parents involvement in parties or door decorating especially in elementary when these events still occur. Some of the most interesting topics that were classdojo, Pinterest, and edmodo. Classdojo was by far the most interesting topic I've seen in my classmates blogs. Its a wonderful program used to add and deduct points for working well in groups, on projects

I personally believe that a flipped classroom is a great idea, but, I think it is something very hard to bring into the classroom and begin to introduce it to the students. It limits the amount of time a teacher has in the classroom since no work can really be be sent home. Also, it can be hard since it requires that teachers use more ideas for activities rather then busy work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRvmjjeZ9CA Open education is a great way for dedicated learners to continue to learn without paying but without receiving a grade or degree. This is also beneficial for teachers to use since they can use lessons that are open in their own classroom to help in their delivery of info for maybe a difficult topic or tricky subject to teach without certain materials. Also it could be beneficial for a student who wants to learn more outside of the classroom or need clarification on a subject. One website that is full of open lessons is  https://www.teacher.org/lesson-plans/   which
